Let’s face it, we were all douche bags of one sort or another back in college. The only question is what kind of douche were you?
Were you a trust fund baby who wore white boy dreadlocks? Did you major in Jet skiiing? To help those who haven’t navigated college douche baggery yet, GQ has come out with a handy list of America’s 25 Douchiest Colleges.
The list starts out at #25 with the blue-blazer douches of the University of Virginia who insist on referring to their school as “the University,” and our third president as “Mr. Jefferson.” Vassar comes in at #22 with the Womyn Douche whose affectations include “comfy Thai meditation pants in gold and puce.”
New York University clocks in at #11 with the “Yeah, I Did That When I Was 17″ Douche. Affectations of the NYU douche include white Wayfarers; vintage New York Dolls T-shirt; high-concept hat; complaining about how New York City is so gentrified now.
Colleges like Harvard, Princeton and Amherst that produce alums with huge egos not surprisingly elbow their way into the top 10 douchiest schools.
And the #1 douchiest college in America? We won’t give away the surprise, but let’s just say if you went to an Ivy League school in Rhode Island you’re not going to be happy.
